Wonderful video, thanks…. but…. why is it that everyone loves to waste
their wicks? You pull it through the hole in the bottom tab leaving over
an inch (US measure) in length, squeeze shut the locking tube, then cut the
inch off the bottom…. and you do the same at the top: leave two to three
inches over what is needed (to wrap around the securing stick). Why not
just capture the wick using a pair of chop-sticks or popsicle sticks
secured with a clothespin?
I just HATE seeing such waste. When you think of it as a monetary
investment, you tend to be more frugal and waste less.﻿

What a dreadful video. All waxes have a temperature at which they should be
poured; working without a thermometer is ridiculous. Dye chips also have a
temperature at which they will properly melt into the wax; if the
temperature is too low there will be minuscule bits that will end up
clogging the wick. If you’re using a clear container using a small amount
of wax to secure the wick will leave jump marks (lines) unless the second
pour is done at a higher temperature. REALLY bad advice here.

I have had no problems making Teacup candles using this video. I found it
very informative and easy to follow. Thanks guys. Shame about the very
negative comment from scooter girl who I am sure has vast experience in the
art of candle making and is able to back up her comments with a similar
practical demo.

This video is specifically about using a TEA CUP, not glass. By using a tea
cup, we can focus on the basic technique without worrying about temperature
- a double boiler keeps the temperature within an acceptable range. You are
talking utter nonsense about the dye – I have made countless tea cup
candles using this technique and have NEVER had my wick “clog up”. If you
could be bothered to film a video showing us how you would do it then send
me a link and I’ll comment. Constructively.
